Japan Just Broke the Stock Market (And Your Wallet Is Next)

On December 2, 2025, Bitcoin suddenly dropped 7%, tech stocks sold off, and yields spiked. Everyone blamed inflation and Fed policy… but the real shock came from Tokyo. 🇯🇵
In this video, I break down how a single comment from the Bank of Japan triggered a chain reaction through global markets — and why it’s signalling the end of 40 years of cheap money in America. This isn’t just about traders and hedge funds. It hits your stocks, your crypto, your mortgage, and your everyday cost of living.
🔍 In this video you’ll learn:
• What the yen carry trade is and why it’s “the biggest trade nobody talks about”
• How Japan’s rate hikes are unwinding trillions in leverage across global markets
• Why Japan is dumping U.S. Treasuries after decades of being America’s biggest foreign lender
• How rising Treasury yields are quietly driving higher mortgage, credit card, and car loan rates
• Why foreign buyers like Japan, China, and the UK stepping back from U.S. debt is a structural shift, not a temporary wobble
• What this new era of permanently higher borrowing costs means for stocks, crypto, and your long-term wealth
• Practical steps to rethink your portfolio in a world where cheap money is over
💼 Who this matters for:
• Investors in Bitcoin, tech, and emerging markets
• Anyone planning to buy a house or refinance
• Business owners relying on cheap credit
• Anyone who wants to understand the real forces behind market volatility, not just the headlines
✅ You’ll walk away with:
• A clear understanding of how Japan’s policies now directly impact your portfolio
• A framework for thinking about rates, debt, and risk in the next decade
• Concrete ideas on what to watch, avoid, and prioritize as this shift plays out
